There will be no change in the number of Romanians coming to Britain once
restrictions are lifted next year, the country’s Prime Minister has insisted.

Victor Ponta promised to hand David Cameron a “scientific sociological study”
to assuage concerns that Britain’s comparatively generous benefits system
will attract a huge influx from the former Communist country.

Mr Ponta, 40, said that the language and mentality of Romanians made them much
more likely to migrate to Italy or Spain. “It is not going to be a change, a
significant increase of Bulgarians or Romanians going to the UK,” Mr Ponta
said.
